Green Coriander Chutney


~cayenne~

Recommended Posts

I love :wub: the fresh green chili/cilantro/mint condiment (relish/non-cooked chutney) that is offered at some Indian resto's, one place has a tub of it at the till (sort of a fast-food type of establishment at the mall), and I load up on it before going to my table. :biggrin:

I've been searching for a recipe, and am wondering if anyone here might have one available. I know it doesn't have mango in it. I think there is green chili, mint, cilantro, onions?, garlic?, tomato? ....... spices? :hmmm:

Would anyone know the amounts of the different ingredients etc., for a reasonable size for one persons use over a few days? Oh, and I could eat lots, with whatever, :laugh: I love it!

TIA :smile:

ETA - p.s. sorry about the spelling mistake, should be desperately, but I don't know how to correct the topic. :blink:

There are as many recipes as housewives. The other ingredients in addition to what you already know are :

Scallion leaves

Raw mango

Amchoor(raw mango, dried and powdered)

Anardana(dried pomegranate seeds)

Tamarind

Peanuts

Sugar

sesame seeds

Ginger

Fresh Dill

Bell peppers green

You would need to try different versions and find the best suited to your taste.

I too am a desperate green sauce addict who isn't willing to just get this sauce from her local Indian restaurant. i want it at home too. I've finally gotten my hands on a good block of tamarind and now I want the other part of the sauce flavor equation.

If there are more recipe ideas in addition to the RecipeGullet one, I would welcome seeing them posted!

Google "coriander chutney" (why call it "sauce"?) and you'll get more recipes than you can imagine. They are all variations

on the basic theme:

blenderize coriander (=cilantro, not the seed), ginger,

salt, green chillies, lemon juice, maybe a little mint (that becomes

mint-coriander chutney), otherwise a little coconut,

perhaps some green onion, maybe a spot of sugar;

I'm pretty sure there's no tamarind in the (green) coriander

chutney, tamarind chutney is a different entity altogether.

It's dark brown and more sweet and sour.

Google "tamarind chutney" for recipes, but it's again

a mush of tamarind paste or water, brown sugar,

raisins, cumin, a little red chili, etc.

thanks eGullet is a gem.

- here, tamarind chutney is always served at the side of the cilantro chutney. I didn't mean that there was tamarind in the cilantro one...

I love that green stuff. But now I like the lemon pickle also served at my usual Indian buffet. I highly rate Indian condiments. Then there's that yogurt sauce that is great on the salads even though I doubt it's intended for them

drizzled or mainlined doesn't matter  :biggrin:

I am baffled that when a name already exists

for a dish (chutney, raita, etc.) it gets called

"sauce"......

Mmm mainlined... :wub:

I think the crux was we had no clue what the name was, hence the generic default.
